redis-test.py

import redis

def test_redis(host, port, password=None):
    # Connect to Redis
    client = redis.StrictRedis(host=host, port=port, password=password, decode_responses=True)

    # Set a key-value pair
    client.set("test_key", "Hello Redis!")

    # Get the value of the key
    value = client.get("test_key")
    print(f"Value of 'test_key': {value}")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Configuration
    REDIS_HOST = "localhost"
    REDIS_PORT = 6379
    REDIS_PASSWORD = "redispassword"

    # If password input is an empty string, set it to None
    if not REDIS_PASSWORD.strip():
        REDIS_PASSWORD = None

    # Test Redis
    test_redis(REDIS_HOST, REDIS_PORT, REDIS_PASSWORD)

Ensure you have the redis Python library installed:

pip install redis
